Calm redness, reduce flushing & strengthen reactive skin
Rosacea is a complex inflammatory skin condition that often presents as persistent redness, flushing, visible capillaries and sensitivity.
For many adults, rosacea can affect confidence, comfort, and skin function, especially when flare-ups occur unexpectedly.
Although there is no cure, there are many options to control the symptoms.
At The Skin Studio, we treat rosacea through barrier-repair programs, and advanced medical-grade treatments that reduce inflammation and visible redness while stabilising long-term flare-ups.
Why Rosacea Requires Targeted, Professional Care
Rosacea is not simply “red skin.” It is a chronic inflammatory disorder with multiple internal and external triggers.
Common signs include:
- Persistent redness through the cheeks, chin or nose
- Flushing that worsens with heat, exercise or stress
- Visible capillaries
- Sensitive or stinging skin
- Papules or acne-like breakouts
- Skin that easily reacts to products
Rosacea skin often has:
✔ impaired lipid barrier function
✔ increased inflammatory response
✔ heightened neural sensitivity
✔ vascular dilation
This is why some skin products and treatments often make rosacea worse.
The cause of rosacea is not known. It is likely that several factors are involved, including genetics and environmental factors.
There is also suggestions of a link to an allergy to the Demodex mite — a microscopic mite that lives on the skin.
Many people with Rosacea find that certain factors trigger their symptoms.
Internal Triggers
- Gut inflammation or microbiome imbalance
- Stress and cortisol elevation
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Peri-Menopause
- Some Medications
- Alcohol consumption
- Food sensitivities
-
- Spicy Food (capsicum, chilli etc)
- Histamine Rich Foods (fermented foods, aged cheese, processed meats)
- Cinnamaldehyde Containing Foods (Tomato’s, Citrus, Chocolate)
External Triggers
- UV exposure
- Hot or cold weather
- Harsh skincare ingredients (especially acids and scrubs)
- Fragrance or preservatives
- Heat or steam
